The American Gas Association represents local energy companies that deliver natural gas throughout the United States.
The temperature of the air, atmosphere or other fluid that completely surrounds the apparatus, equipment or the workpiece under consideration. For devices which do not generate heat, this temperature is the same as the temperature of the medium at the point of device location when the device is not present. For devices which do generate heat, this temperature is the temperature of the medium surrounding the device when the device is present and generating heat. Allowable ambient-temperature limits are based on the assumption that the device in question is not exposed to significant radiant-energy sources such as sunlight or heated surfaces.
Industry:Energy
A device for controlling the gas supply to the main burner without manual attention.
Industry:Energy
A method of developing zoned rates. This method involves first segregating costs by zone as if each zone were a separate entity, then developing the unit costs of gas flowing through each zone. The customers in downstream zones pay the costs associated with their gas flowing through the upstream zones.
Industry:Energy
A system using the momentum of a jet of high pressure air (in excess of 5 psig) to entrain gas or air and gas to produce a combustible mixture.
Industry:Energy
Any plant which performs one of the following functions: removing liquefiable hydrocarbons from wet gas or casinghead gas (gas processing); removing undesirable gaseous and particulate elements from natural gas (gas treatment); removing water or moisture from the gas stream (dehydration). Also, the original cost of property, plant and equipment owned and used by the utility in its gas operations and having an expectation of life in service of more than one year from the date of installation.
Industry:Energy
In DSM, an option which could be implemented for which equipment has been developed and tested and is available in the current marketplace, or will be in the future.
Industry:Energy
Securities which are convertible into other classes of securities (usually common stock) of the same corporation at the option of the security holder, but only in accordance with prescribed conditions.
Industry:Energy
Storage facilities, or portion of storage facilities, which is used by the pipeline to store gas for its own use, to meet the peak day requirements of its sales customers and to provide flexibility on its system. See CONTRACT STORAGE.
Industry:Energy
The integrating pressure-and-temperature instrument registers, on a counter, the total quantity of gas passed through the meter, reduced to standard cubic feet at a definite base pressure and base temperature. Each increment of volume is multiplied by a temperature-factor corresponding to the line-temperature and base-temperature. It is then multiplied by the pressure-multiplier corresponding to the line pressure and base pressure. The product is totaled on a counter index. A supplementary index is furnished which reads the total quantity passed at line conditions.
